Sig Fig Rules:
(By: Violeta Albanes, Kim Ly, Alston Pacheco, and Percival Perlas The FIVE MAIN RULES: 1) Any non-zero digits are significant. (For example! 12304. 1, 2, 3, and 4 ARE significant, 0 is not.)
2) Any zeros between numbers are significant.
(For example! 305 = 0 IS significant.)
3) Zeros to the left of the first non-zero digit are NOT significant.
(Sample: 034 = 0 is NOT significant.)
4) Final zeros after the decimal are significant.
(Just like 4.50 = 0 IS significant.)
5) Zeros to the right of the last non zero digit without a decimal point NOT significant.
(Such as: 520 = 0 is NOT significant.)
Other IMPORTANT RULES:
-If a decimal point is present, do NOT count zeros on the "Pacific" (left) side.
-If there is no decimal point do NOT count zeros on the "Atlantic" (right) side.
-Every other digit is significant.
Table B: Significant Figures Calculations!
By: Anton, Justin, Sid, Sean
-When carrying out multiplication, your number must be written to the lowest number of significant figures that were in the problem: For example: 3g x 295 g => 1sf x 3 sf => Answer must be written to 1 sig. fig!
-When adding or subtracting, the answer must be given to the lowest number of places past the decimal that were in the problem! -For example: 23.6 mL - 16.1218 mL => 1dp - 4dp => Answer must be given to 1 decimal place!
-So....what about multiplication/division AND subtraction/addition? Give your answer to the lowest number of significant numbers that were in the problem!
-For example: 5.46 mg x 3.2 mg + 1.59 mg => 19 mg (2 sig. figs.)

Precision and Accuracy:Tatyana Lark, Melissa Palanca, Kassandra Mangoba, Brenden EspanolaIn Science, we want measurements to be both accurate and precise-Accuracy is a measure of rightness
Capable of providing a correct reading or measurement
Refers to how closely a measured value agrees with the correct value
A measurement is accurate if it correctly reflects the size of the thing being measured
-Precision is a measure of exactness
Repeatable, reliable, getting the same measurement each time
Refers to how closely individual measurements agree with each other
Scientific Notation Table D
By: Darshan, Mark, Milton, and Emerald Scientific Notation is a way of expressing extremely large or small numbers using coefficients and powers of 10.
A practical way to use this technique is when you are doing a laboratory activity when working with miniscule or big numbers.
Scientific notation is expressed in the basic form a x 10^n.
The steps to express a number in scientific notation are the following:
1) Decide whether you move left or right depending on the location of the non-zero numbers.
2) Count the number of places you move the decimal point until the decimal point reaches between the first two numbers that are non-zero.
3) Determine the coefficient (a)
4) From Step 1, if you moved left, express the number of times you moved as a number, n, with a positive number.
Or if you moved the decimal point right, express it as the negative number, -n.
5) Express the number given in the form a x 10^n.
Example:
0.000000000464755
Step 1: Decide whether you move left or right depending on the location of the non-zero numbers- in this case, you move to the right .
Step 2: Count the number of places you move the decimal point until the decimal point reaches between the first two numbers that are non-zero.
In this example, we move 10 places to the right .
Step 3: Determine the coefficient (a). 4.64755
Step 4: From Step 1, if you moved left, express the number of times you moved as a number, n, with a positive number.
Or if you moved the decimal point right, express it as the negative number, -n.
Therefore, the exponent will be -10 because we moved 10 places to the right.
Step 5: Express the number given in the form a x 10^n. 4.64755 x 10^-10Otherwise if we had the number:464,755then we would have to find the decimal point shown here as 464,755.Ok, so now what we can do is find out how many places we have to move to the left.In this case we move 5 places to the left to produce the number 4.64755Then we add the power of 10 we used to complete this scientific notation figure.The final answer is 4.64755 X 10^5Good luck on the test!

SI Units: The International System of Units
By Angelo Acosta, Narciso Bernardo, Jessica Matias & Dustin Vo
The standards of measurement used in science are those of the metric system because of its simplicity and ease of use. The International System of Units is a revised version of the metric system. There are 7 SI base units, from which all other SI units can be derived. The 5 most commonly used by chemists are the meter, kilogram, kelvin, second, and mole.
The seven SI base units are:
Meter (m): unit of length
Kilogram (kg) : unit of mass
Kelvin (K): unit of temperature
Second (s): unit of time
Mole (mol): amount of substance
Candela (cd): luminous intensity
Ampere (A): electric current
Metric Prefixes:
mega (M) - 1 million times larger than the unit it precedes; 10^6 (ten to the power of six)
kilo (k) - 1000 times larger than the unit it precedes; 10^3
deci (d) - 10 times smaller than the unit it precedes; 10^ -1
centi (c) - 100 times smaller than the unit it precedes; 10^ -2
milli (m) - 1000 times smaller;10^ -3
micro (µ) - 1 million times smaller than the unit it precedes; 10^ -6
nano (n) - 1000 million times smaller than the unit it precedes; 10^ -9
pico (p) - 1 trillion times smaller than the unit it precedes; 10^ -12
Common metric units of:
-length: centimeter, meter, kilometer
-volume: liter, milliliter, cubic centimeter, microliter
-mass: kilogram, gram, milligram, microgram
-temperature: Celsius, kelvin
-energy: joule, calorie
The difference between weight and mass is that:
Weight is the force that measures the pull on a given mass by gravity.
Mass is a measure of the quantity of matter.
Weight can change depending on it's location, but mass remains the same regardless of its location.
Objects can become weightless, but not massless.
Table F: Dimensional Analysis
By Devan Bevilacqua and Scott Lowder
Dimensional analysis is a way to analyze and solve problems using the units, or dimensions, of the measurements. This method provides you with an alternative approach to problem solving.
Ex 1: How many seconds are in a workday that lasts exactly 8 hours?
7 hr X 60 min X 60 seconds = 25, 200 seconds (2.5200 X 104 seconds)
1 hr 1 min
Step 1: Figure out what unit you want your end result to be
Step 2: Decide what conversion factors (ratio of equivalent measurements) are needed to complete the problem
Step 3: Set up the problem (as shown above)
Step 4: Solve
Step 5: Convert to appropriate number of significant figures
Problems in which a measurement with one unit is converted to an equivalent measurement with another unit are easily solved using dimensional analysis.
Ex. 2: Express 4.6 mg in grams
4.6 mg X 1 gram = 0.0046 grams (4.6 X 10-3 grams) 1000 mg
Multistep Problem:
Ex 3: What is 0.053 cm in micrometers?
5.3 X 10-2 cm X 1 meters X 106 micrometer = 5.3 X 102 micrometers
102 cm 1 meter
